Interview with Norbert Kehrer, Flashx20
Hello, and happy 2020 to all the listeners out there. As the final episode of 2019 I'm bringing to you a bonus show on the Epson HX-20. I was able to get an interview with a gentleman who has developed a terrific piece of software that qualifies as a modern upgrade for the HX-20, called flashx20. That gentleman is Mr. Norbert Kehrer and he was kind enough to talk with me about his software and how it's used. I think you'll find it interesting, especially if you have a machine and can give his software a whirl.
Next month I will begin a series of episodes on one of the groundbreaking machines in the UK, the BBC Micro. I haven't decided yet how many episodes there will be, but I was able to get an interview with an early computer pioneer involved with the development of the BBC Micro, so I intend to be as thorough as possible in the coverage of the machine. Stay tuned for more on that.
For this episode, I will talk a bit about my new vintage computer acquisitions and what I've been up to, as well as the usual news about upcoming vintage computer shows and a bit of feedback.
